How to find us

Carnival takes place at the Kendall/MIT Open Space, 292 Main St, Cambridge, MA 02142. 

The Open Space is a large outdoor plaza with a combination of grass and paved areas, conveniently located directly next to the MBTA Kendall/MIT Inbound subway train stop. For Carnival, we close the roads that surround the Open Space to create a pedestrian-friendly environment.
